" summary

Argues the manufacturing mindset blocks DevOps and urges a lablike, experimental approach with three concrete dimensions: technology and architectures, organizing and management, and ecosystem and contracts. Shows a Splunk-backed release readiness score dashboard that correlates commits, defects and availability. Cites concrete failures: a deleted Jenkins job causes three weeks recovery, a toolchain of 180 tools for deployment, and automation that works 99% but makes 1% failures inevitable — plus SLA and procurement incentives that push the wrong behavior.
